Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to herpes Zoster which is a viral infection.
I suggest using antiviral treatment such as Acyclovir cream.
I also recommend using Cetirizine 10 m daily to relieve the itching.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
